Since a child, I have loved to bake. I have learned many things from my mother, both grandmothers, and by watching others. I have always wanted to have my own business doing what I love best, and that's having fun in the kitchen. My "Grama Zagata" would always refer to dessert as Z-zert (pronounced zee-zert), and I couldn't think of a better name for a company specializing in desserts. At Paula’s Zzertswe make all our baked goodies just as my family did, using organic butter, eggs & vanilla, pure cane sugar, unbleached King Arthur Flour, and heaping mounds of love.

One cookie that has always made a difference in my life is the chocolate chip cookie. I would always bake those cookies for my friends, and would often bake them for a family friend who was house-bound. I'd even mail chocolate chip cookies to friends in care packages. I'm sure at that time in my youthful zeal, they arrived in crumbs, but it is the thought that counts, right? As a result of sending chocolate chip cookies to a friend away at college, the cookies were a catalyst for me spending almost two years in England as a missionary. A portion of the proceeds from our chocolate chip cookie sales goes straight to the mission field.

My husband, Joseph, has worked in many diverse culinary venues. With his passion for quality ingredients and flavorful meals, it was an easy and natural progression for us to add catering to our business.

Hello Joseph here what I love about what I do, simply put, I love food. I also look at it as an art form. One of the things that I learned from many of the chefs that I worked under is people eat with their eyes first so always make it look as good as it tastes no matter if it’s plated or buffet style meal. I love the independence of operating my own catering business, customizing menus for each of our clients and seeing the joy of our clients at each event. I also know that we are making a difference.

Paula’s Zzerts is a missions-minded business so a percentage of our sales goes to supporting missionaries around the world. We also help fund those who wish to go on a mission trip.
